Pros: I liked the comfortable and quiet arrangements: air conditioning, leg room, cushioned seats. I liked the wifi and electrical outlets for working. Cons: The mask mandate was very annoying. CDC regulations have lifted this mandate, so have even the most strict states. The employees were too strict about it. Also, one employee told me the train would be sold out, so to move my stuff from the seat next to me. This never materialized. Also, the Missouri River Runner train had spotty Wifi service. Tips: Bring cushy headphones in case of babies or loud passengers. Hot water is free, so bring tea bags.

Pros: Taking the train to Chicago from Kansas City is the very best way to get to the Windy City! The train leaves Union Station at 7:30 am and arrives around 2:30 pm in Chicago, leaving plenty of time for sightseeing and dinner. Seats are nice and wide with lots of legroom. We appreciate the footrest and the leg recliner. We pack a picnic for both ways, so I have no comments on the dining car. Cons: Sometimes there is too much chatter from the conductors. For those trying to nap it can be annoying. Bathrooms could use a bit more care, especially when the train is crowded. Tips: Download your favorite books and movies. Consider packing snacks to nibble along the way. Then sit back and enjoy the ride!

Pros: The train was very well maintained. On train staff were very nice. Seats recliner far back and there was plenty of leg room. Important to note: this applies to trains used for the Southwest Chief ONLY. It is a long haul train designed for comfort in both Coach and Business. Cons: Enough announcements already. Every 30 minutes or less an announcement promoting the dining car. The cost for food onboard is ridiculous. Bring snacks with you! Tips: Bring snacks because food prices onboard are astronomical and truly gouge you.
